Review:
Very nice Bluetooth speakers
This is a very nice pair of Bluetooth speakers. August sent them to me for review and I am pleased to say that these are up to their usual high standard with very nice design and build quality and good sound for such a small system.
The speakers are very nicely designed. They are roughly prism-shaped with the triangle about 7cm on a side, and 11cm at their longest. They have a good heft to them, the build quality is obviously high and they look great on a desk or shelf. They arrive decently boxed with a jack lead for non-Bluetooth connectivity, a double USB charging lead so you can charge both speakers at once, a lead to connect the two speakers together and a very good instruction manual.
In use they work very well. Bluetooth connection was very straightforward and range was good with a solid connection even with me in the way up to at least 8m. There is an AUX input for non-Bluetooth connection and the supplied lead means you can have a sensible separation between the two speakers. Battery life is good: I haven't tested it to exhaustion, but the claim of 15 hours playing time seems about right.
The sound is good. It goes perfectly loud enough for me with no audible distortion. Tops and middles are excellent, and the bass is OK, giving an overall clear and rich sound with very good articulation. It's not hi-fi – but then it's a very small unit and you can't expect really resonant bass. The stated frequency range is 90Hz-20kHz, so they don't claim to have a really deep bass response, although a bit of bass boost from the equalizer on my mp3 player helped quite a lot. They performed well on all the music I tested them on, from 16th Century choral music to London Grammar, and as a compact Bluetooth speaker system at this price I think it's very good – and excellent value.
Overall, then, a very good little speaker system, especially at this price. If you're looking for a small pair of speakers with Bluetooth connectivity which are stylish and well made with decent sound, these will do you very well and I can recommend them warmly.
